Flowers of Spring

Flowers of Spring

Finally got my act together and made a sandwich today. Was feeling lazy after the long holidays. Since it is still Chinese New Year, I used my cutters to make flower sandwiches with butterflies for the kids using ham, cheese and strawberry jam. 

The brown wholemeal bread is more suitable for a teddy sandwich or animal character sandwich and white bread would make prettier flowers. But I saw the wholemeal bread with the healthy red triangle logo on the packing and bought the wholemeal bread instead. Healthier option after all the festive goodies I stuff myself over the holidays. Hee… *feeling guilty*




I did all the shape cutting the night before so that I can sleep for extra few precious minutes in the morning. I just spread the jam and place all the pieces together in the morning. The seaweed cutting of the word 'Spring' on the egg looks slightly distorted because of the curved egg surface. 

Well, still recognizable I think. I added cheese butterflies to brighten up the sandwiches box too!
